Chain

The chain of a scooter is an important part that resembles a thin metal belt and connects the engine to the rear wheel. Proper care, such as regular cleaning and lubrication, is necessary to avoid problems. Also check the tension of the chain to ensure that it is not too tight or too loose, which can affect the performance of the scooter.

How often should I lubricate my scooter chain?

It's usually a good idea to lubricate your scooter's chain every few weeks. However, if you ride often, especially in bad weather, you may need to do this more frequently. Lubrication helps the chain run smoothly and reduces wear and tear.

How can I check if my scooter chain is worn out?

Checking the chain is simple. Look at the gears and the chain itself. If they look worn, damaged, or rusty, it's time to replace them. A worn chain can lead to issues while riding.

How can I adjust the tension of my scooter chain?

Adjusting the chain tension is important to ensure that it is not too tight or too loose. You do this by loosening the rear wheel nuts, bringing the chain to the correct tension (usually about 2.5 cm play in the middle) and then tightening the nuts again securely.

How can I clean my scooter chain?

To clean your scooter chain, you don't need much. Use a brush to wipe away dirt and grease. If the chain is very dirty, you can use a special chain cleaner or just some degreaser to make the cleaning easier. Keeping the chain clean helps to reduce wear and extend its lifespan.
